Features Corvette Gassers

Sorry for the finger in the pic. Not a Gasser but a cool story on this Corvette race car

 

And?? There has to be more to this story. Did they have a gas fire while filling it up?

 

Latest pics of my 63 Split window gasser build.

 

Hard to read but it looks like D/G to me. From tommyd again in the drag cars in motion thread.

 

Yes, they ran D/G a lot. They ran at D42 and other NE Ohio tracks for the most part.

 

Took a couple pics with the front end raised a bit...actually only about 1/3 of the total possible extension. Want to eventually raise the rear & radius the rear wheelwells, maybe even flair them a bit.

 

Hey Dan. See your moving right along as usual. Looks good and will look even better with the rear jacked up a bit. I like the look that Scott has going on his new coupe. I used to like the flared look better, but this look has grown on me.

 

Rat Sass sent me this video I hope it works,
I hope he don't mind

 

Sounds as good as it looks !

 

I agree with Baron. Has a great sound and the right look

 

You nailed it Rat Sass. It sounds like a wood chopper when its idling.

 

Love the sound of a "Hot" engine doing it's thing. Made me think of this video.

 

RPMs right nicely.

 

Redline at the very top of the scale. AWESOME

 

Had to add some more bars for the cert. and the Transmount is in, More bars to go. Then we'll get the chassis painted and install the new Silver Flaked gelcoat body.

 

Looks great. What color are you doing the chassis ? Red would look great with the Silver .

 

I've owned two a 61 and a 65. I only have a few pics so here are a couple. I didn't take many pics...way to busy working on my junk to socialize!

 

Tried to clean this up a little.

 

Great pics Gene...thanks for sharing! Especially like the straight axle C-2!

 

Our Silver gelcoat is just the base for the Raspberry , Orange and Gold Candy topcoat.

 

So have you chosen the color yet? And wondering if it would it be possible to clear-coat the silver ? Just thinking out loud.

 

The red candy you see in the pic is the color I am having put on my silver body, And yes you can clear the gelcoat but after buffing the gel it really doesn't need it.

 

Little Sunday update, Few more bars and front shocks ,Almost ready for chassis paint and floor tin.

 

Here is a little peak at the one of the door skins we just laidup for my Vettes new body, Were doing it in Big Flaked Silver Gelcoat then Topcoating it with the Raspberry candy.

 

Wow, that brings me back to the late 60s. Lots of Metal flake during those years.

 

Man that's going to have some pop when the sun hits it.

 

Steve Norton just sent me these pics today. They just finished the roll bar in his 1956.
Looking good Steve. One more step in the right direction.

 

Yes, it's looking Great Steve.

 

Looking good. Nice and bold building it with the Top cover now permanent. Be sure to weld on seat belt tabs. Roll bar or show bar??
